Textbook Question

The only book I have kept is my A&P book. I used it a lot to prepare for my nursing entrance exam too. I start nursing school this fall and anticipate looking in my A&P book throughout nursing school too.

I kept my A&P text from my first AAS, and luckily I can use it this fall for my nursing pre-req advanced A&P. I bought that, used, for $30 three years ago- renting it would have been about $50 more this year. I bought a "like new" micro book for $5. Mint condition (except now that I've spilled water on it... oops...) and not a single mark in it. I bought a physiology text book two years ago just for funsies- $10- and you can be sure that I will be referencing that gold mine in class this fall. My developmental psych text was $5 for a used copy with minimal markings. Seriously... unless your school makes you buy their special editions, do not buy full priced texts. If you're worried about changes in editions, get a really cheap used copy of the last edition and find a decently priced rental for the new, especially if you're one who likes to highlight and write notes on pages. Keep those textbooks!!! Searching on the internet is easy but there is a lot of variety in the information you can find. Using your texts to find the answers to your questions should be just as easy, if not better, because you've already gone over the textbook for class, right? And you'll have an answer you can trust.
